CAPACITY BUILDING

ON THE FAST TRACK

We think we can - we think we can - we think we can....

Guess what - WE CANNOT DO ANYTHING ON OUR OWN! We were recently asked why we do this at our age, and the answer - because it is our calling and it is the perfect age - in fact any age when you are called is the perfect age. But we cannot do this alone. It is from the Grace and Mercy of the Lord of Lords that gives us the strength and courage. So let's catch up!

1. Lots social media over the last several months - including Facebook messages - lots of LAMb International Mail Chimp updates to our board members.

2. Dayspring is full and doing GREAT. We have new parents and the little girls along with the older girls are doing so well. Learning daily and being discipled by a great team - with pastor and bishop and their wives stopping in regularly and serving our little girls.

3. Jeremiah 29:11 - amazing changes - new parents for the boys! Drop in center - leader is a regular visitor of our youth and a great helper. He helped the boys start the Chicken business.

4. Jeremiah 29:11 has a new farm. A BIG SURPRISE for us. Ruby's sister went to Kyrgyzstan and stayed there for just over a month - working with the team and the Jeremiah youth. She decided they needed a farm to learn from - so she purchased the farm and we are now making big plans for its use.

The Farm - Sondra Villa

5. Jeremish 29:11 youth have been learning to can vegetables - lots stored up for winter.

Sveta - Life Skills in Action

6. Lots of our youth in University, Pre-University and College this year. In fact we have nine at this time we are supporting for a higher education! Praise God for dreams.

Registration Day - for University and College

7. Hired a tutor in a near-by village for the little village children who are struggling with school. This will be a full time business for an adoptive mom we want to support and help along. We are coming behind her for a year to help her get her business started - which helps so many vulnerable youth.

8. Capacity Building continues....training those persons working with vulnerable, exploited and orphaned children. Great results coming in - as this is a sustainable program - training of trainers. Here is a quick snapshot of the last several months:

India - Trauma Time Line Activity

FEBRUARY - MANAGUA, NICARAGUA - Life Skills Training of Trainers

FEBRUARY - VIZAHAKAPATNAM, INDIA - Psychological Trauma Training along with Training of Trainers

FEBRUARY - HYDERABAD, INDIA - Psychological Trauma Training along with Training of Trainers

We have had 1,155 total participants. Let's say each of these persons works with JUST 10 VULNERABLE YOUTH - that equals - 11550 youth from that ONE TRAINING!!!!!! Potentially influenced to know who they are - how precious they are and that they are a treasure and a child of the KING. Sons and daughters across the globe.

And that does not include any of the training events the new trainers are doing!
